HYCHLORZIDE 25 Hydrochlorothiazide Tablets IP 25mg HYCHLORZIDE is a medication commonly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and fluid retention (edema). It belongs to a class of drugs called thiazide diuretics, often referred to as "water pills." By promoting the excretion of sodium and water from the kidneys, HYCHLORZIDE helps to lower blood pressure and reduce swelling. This mechanism also makes it useful in managing conditions such as heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and certain kidney disorders. Some key points about HYCHLORZIDE include: Mechanism of Action: HYCHLORZIDE works by inhibiting the sodium chloride co-transporter in the distal convoluted tubule of the nephron in the kidneys. This action prevents sodium reabsorption, leading to increased excretion of sodium and water, which in turn lowers blood pressure and reduces edema. Uses: Primarily used for hypertension and edema. It may also be used in the treatment of diabetes insipidus and to prevent kidney stones in people with high calcium levels. Interactions: HYCHLORZIDE can interact with a variety of medications, including lithium, digitalis, and certain anti-inflammatory drugs. It can also enhance the effects of other blood pressure medications. Precautions: Patients with allergies to sulfa drugs may need to avoid HCTZ due to potential cross-reactivity. It's also important for patients with diabetes or kidney disease to use this medication under close medical supervision, as adjustments in dosage or precautions may be necessary. HYCHLORZIDE is often part of a combination therapy, where it's used alongside other antihypertensive medications to achieve better blood pressure control. As with any medication, it's crucial for individuals to take HYCHLORZIDE exactly as prescribed by their healthcare provider and to discuss any concerns or side effects they experience.
